No kidding. Just to consider a single project, my total time saved using esbuild instead of pure JS bundlers could probably be measured wallclock months, and I really like the way it's written: simple, approachable, handwritten lexer/parser, etc. The way that esbuild organizes its lexer state has infected my handrolled lexers, too.
